Mental harmonization process

Abstract

A state of relaxation or mental harmonization in a subject is created by exposing a color solely to one field of vision of a subject and the complement of that color solely to the other field of vision of the subject while simultaneously exposing an audible tone solely to one ear of the subject and a harmonious tone solely to the other ear of the subject. The color and tones employed are subjectively comfortable and compatible. Preferably, the frequency difference between the two audible tones is one-half the frequency of the audible tone having the lowest frequency.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. Method of producing a state of mental relaxation in a subject, comprising, in combination, the steps of: (a) exposing solely to one field of vision of the subject a first color determined by the subject to be pleasing to him while simultaneously exposing solely to the other field of vision of the subject the complementary color of said first color; and   (b) exposing solely to one ear of the subject a first audible tone determined by the subject to be pleasing to him while simultaneously exposing solely to the other ear of the subject a second audible tone harmonious with said first audible tone; and   (c) said colors being viewed by the subject while simultaneously listening to said audible tones.   
     
     
       2. The method of claim 1 wherein the first and second audible tones have a frequency difference of approximately one-half the frequency of the audible tone having the lowest frequency.
